Resealable, single-serve, lightweight packages are everywhere in the supply chain as manufacturers continue to develop thinner, yet more-durable, materials. For snack producers and bakers, packaging that extends product shelf life and provides consumer convenience in today’s grab-and-go world is important, too.
In fact, one of the biggest consumer demands cited by food manufacturers is for packaging that makes products last longer on the store shelf and at home. The latest packaging materials accomplish this by augmenting preservatives’ role in keeping food fresh. And they also are designed to keep products made with in-demand healthier ingredients at the freshness level that consumers expect.
